This library gives you the tools to run a really lightweight heartbeat or ping server.
It's useful for servers monitored by load balancers or services like [Pingdom][pingdom].
It can be installed in whichever way you prefer, but I recommend [NPM][npm].

I accept contributions to the source via Pull Request,
but passing unit tests must be included before it will be considered for merge.
Given the early stage of this project and the severe lack of current tests,
this is a little hypocritical; but start as you mean to go on, etc.

$ make install

$ make tests

If you have [Vagrant][vagrant] installed, you can build the dev environment to assist development.
The repository will be mounted in /srv.
